-
source code cleaned up, simplified, and broken up into various source and header files
-
a couple of VS code analysis fixes (ex: gen_kpk() was causing stack exceed error)
-
compiler warnings resolved up to level 4
-
benchmark utility added (type 'bench' and engine will write a date-stamped text file with results)
-
small change to phase/piece value calculation adding 3-5 elo:
-
support for syzygy tablebases
Settings = Gauntlet/128MB/1000ms+100ms/M 500cp for 6 moves, D 120 moves/PGN:10000.pgn(10000) (Avg game length = 13.252 sec)
